Combines all the advantages of Leica LINO dot and line lasers! Align, plumb, set right angles, and self-level simply!

The five laser dots are perfectly aligned at right angles to one another, making alignment easy!

Features:

Very easy to see laser lines

Transfer measured points: turn the rotatable adapter to transfer reference points in no time at all across the room from one wall to another. Leave your spirit level and string line in your toolbox!

Horizontal and vertical aligning: spirit levels and string lines are a thing of the past; now the Leica LINO L2P5 is the convenient way to transfer reference points from one wall to another or to ensure that wall and floor tile joints precisely meet one another.

Expanded range of applications: the adapter supplied with the Leica LINO L2P5 positions the instrument quickly and with absolute precision. You can set up the adapter over edges and profiles, attach it to circular columns or fix it to steel or iron pipes with the integrated magnets.

Our company has something close to 20 of the L2P5. As the PLS's died and could not be repaired or calibrated, (which is their downside), we have replaced them with a longer lasting Leica. The Leica gets used on large commercial sights daily and stand up to the typical abuse better than any of the others noted in the other reviews.

What I didn't like!1.) The top plumb dot is not exactly on the plumb line when you shine the lines and dots together. I have ordered 2 L2P5 devices and they are BOTH the same! Either the plumb dot, plumb line or BOTH features are not showing true measurements.

2.) To protect yourself if you decide to send the device back, it will cost you around $20 to add insurance. Whatever money I expected to save, I have lost because I returned my L2P5.

3.) Compared to any Pacific Laser Systems (PLS) line and dot laser, the L2P5 seems very, very flimsy. In fact, a customer representative at A.W. Meyer Tools didn't want to sell me the L2P5 when he saw how flimsy it looked compared to the PLS Lasers.

The cover for the battery compartment is particularly weak and very, very thin. The means to lock the battery compartment is a very poor design as it is only a snap on, plastic design. I expect repeated battery changes to eventually cause the battery compartment lock to fail.

In this regard, the Dewalt089 is exceptionally robust, and probably the most durable looking line laser I have ever seen.

What I liked:

1.) It has 4 dots: Up, down, left and right.2.) It has a plumb and level line.3.) It only has two buttons but the controls are intuitive; you really don't need the instructions to operate it.4.) The L2P5 has a 1/4" tripod fitting BUT the device's stand has a 5/8" tripod fitting! That means you don't have to buy a new tripod.5.) The stand that comes with the L2P5 allows you to rotate the device 360 degrees on a tripod.6.) It has a pendulum lock: that means a.) you can lock the device to prevent damage during transportation, b.) you can lock the L2P5 if you want to use angles instead of plumb and level measurements.7.) It has 2 cool accessories: a.) the ball adapter for setting the L2P5 at angles b.) the magnetic multifunction adapter for attaching the L2P5 to steel studs. It's also a very nice mini tripod.8.) Probably the feature I like the most is the plumb and level lines fan out to a very, very wide angle of 230 DEGREES!

1.)It's ease of use. It only has 2 buttons, making it intuitive for finding plumb and level, either through the use of dots or lines.2.)The plumb and level lines travel more than 180 degrees. If I remember correctly, I believe they are in a 230 degree arc... very impressive!3.)The stand, which comes in the package, is very useful. It allows the tool to swivel a full 360 degrees when mounted on a tripod. This feature also makes the bottom plumb line very visible.4.)Also, the fitting for the stand is not 1/4" as the website and manual claim. It's actually better because it fits 5/8" thread which is common in construction grade tripods.5.)The laser lines, although less visible in the daylight, are very sharp. They are not thick lines which you must cut in half to obtain a truer mark. I hear Leica will also hop on the green laser light bandwagon which will make it's lasers 4-5 times brighter, but those aren't in circulation yet.6.)The accessories seem innovative. I plan to get the mini tripod customarily included with the L2. And perhaps the telescoping poll as well as the ball adapter for odd angles.7.)It has a pendulum lock!8.)You can also lock the laser in certain positions if you need a line that is neither level or plumb, as in a baluster installation.What I did not like:1.)The tool seems flimsy. The casing is not as robust as, for example the Dewalt DW087K. The lock for the battery compartment is especially thin. In fact, "thin" is what comes to mind when I consider the L2P5's casing.

The same can be said of the stand that comes with the laser.2.)On my laser,the upper plumb dot is slightly to the right of the plumb line. Because of this, I'm exchanging the L2P5 for a replacement.3.)The Hilti PMC 46, although more expensive, offers a bracket and a mini tripod, in addition to other amenities, in it's package for just under $400. For roughly $320, the L2P5 only comes with the stand, target plate, pouch and the laser. I believe, however, the Leica offers more innovation in it's accessories.

Conclusion. Overall, I think the L2P5 is a good value. I wouldn't purchase a Hilti PMC 46 or PLS 2 in place of a Leica Lino L2P5. My biggest gripe is the flimsiness of it's casing. What I liked the most are it's features and accuracy.
